And Jimmy awarded the whole choir for FAITH and the excellent music they provide us at mass every Friday! 🎤🎶🎵
Saints Circles: Encouraging each other.
Mrs. O’Callaghan mentions the award Alejandra was given for CHARITY: always saying “Good Morning” to teachers, helping students organize their things, holding the door for others. Mrs. O reminds 8th grade that as leaders of the school, they are called to be an example for all the other students in the school. 🙏🏽
How can we encourage each other?
- Cheering each other on 🎉
- Inviting people to play at recess helps them not to be alone 🏈
- If someone isn’t sure about trying something new, you can support them because they might not know what they’re missing! 💪🏽
- Helping other students to complete hard math problems ✖️➗➕➖
And our Saints are ready to start “Just Another Manic Monday!” 🎉
